[dba-Tech] Microsoft EMET 4.0

Hi Gustav:

This does look interesting in that it is designed to be an enhancement to internet communications. If it is as it states easy to use with all Microsoft products and should even work with non Microsoft products, it could fill an important niche.

"The toolkit also provides a configurable SSL/TLS certificate pinning feature, called Certificate Trust, aimed at detecting Man in the Middle attacks leveraging the Public Key Infrastructure". 

This statement makes the toolkit sound less like a product for detecting malware but more like a security product designed to stop onroute interference or decrypting of a data flow. Is it designed to thwart information trolls, whether government or otherwise?

In these time this software may be useful.. If you find out anything more about the toolkit please post it.

Hi all

Anyone with practical experience from implementing this toolkit?

Microsoft Enhanced Mitigation Experience Toolkit (EMET) 4.0:

Is it a "corporate" thing?
